A brilliant chardonnay that is equal parts generous in flavour and refreshing, becoming a particularly excellent foil for your takeaway curry night. Expect crisp stone fruit and faint nutty-savouriness in this delicious wine.

From stalwart organic wine producers, this has enough acidity to cut through the creaminess of Indian dishes and comes with a touch of fruity sweetness to manage any spicy heat. Try this out with your best butter chicken.

The dry, botanical freshness of gin married to the gentle sweetness and bubbles of tonic water all marry particularly well with fiery Indian dishes. Larrikin’s dry style here is sophisticated and detailed.

Gewürztraminer wines seem to be written into lore as the go-to for piquant dishes, and this one from biodynamic-farmed vines is wildly fragrant, cool in the palate, gently kissed with rose water flavours, and utterly wonderful with northern Indian cuisine.

Grenache, mourvèdre and shiraz are blended in this lightweight but bright, crunchy and vivacious red wine. I imagine this with vindaloo dishes or similar, but I bet it would be an absolute treat with smoky-fragrant things from the tandoor. It’s gorgeous!

This crisp, lightly bitter and ultra-drinkable lager comes from a good place and good people, and does good things with your suburban Indian array of dishes. Kick things off with a sip and a samosa.
